Denver is now in the driver’s seat, having won the first two games of this series that determine one of the two teams vying for the Larry O’Brien Trophy in the NBA Finals.

Two more wins and they’d reach their first NBA Finals in franchise history. The Nuggets went on a 20-5 run to start the fourth quarter, getting their lead up to 12 when they trailed for much of this contest.

Los Angeles had their lead up to 11 at one point, but failure to match the Nuggets’ runs had that double-digit lead erased.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Nikola Jokic #15 of the Denver Nuggets reacts after a basket during the first quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers in game two of the Western Conference Finals at Ball Arena on May 18, 2023 in Denver, Colorado.  (Matthew Stockman/Getty Images) A large reason why the Nuggets came back was due to Jamal Murray finding his shooting stroke after scoring just 10 points in the first half.
